Long Awaited Bollards Installed

In January, 2010 Tim Jarmer Electric removed the old corroded aluminum bollard lights and replaced them with similar fiberglass bollards on raised concrete bases.  Approximately half of the old bollards had failed by the time they were replaced.  Many had been installed at the level of the grass, where it was thought water and fertilizer aided in their sooner than expected failure.  After discussions with the developer and consultation from Peter Brennan of Avenue Development in the fall of 2010 the decision was made for the HOA to replace all the bollards.  The decision to set the bollards on a raised bases is intended to reduce the potential knocks from landscapers and raises them away from water and fertilizer.  This was a good investment in a good product.  These are expected to give years of service with minimal maintenance.  Be safe and enjoy the light!
